Barry McConaghey, CEO and Founder
Mr. McConaghey brings an abundance of real-life experience and product knowledge to the company he founded. As a firefighter constantly dealing with hazardous situations over a span of two decades, he developed a deep insight and perspective into the equipment that surrounded him daily. He would advance to the rank of Lieutenant and serve as Union President of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), in addition to being cross-trained as a paramedic. In 2011, Mr. McConaghey used that very same knowledge to launch FireHoseDirect.com with a proprietary internet sales model based on speed. Today, FireHoseDirect is the largest e-commerce sales and distribution company of fire hose and accessories in North America.
